Do you know the signs of
childhood sexual abuse?
The more informed we are, the more vigilant we can be when protecting children from sexual abuse.
Any sudden change in a child or teen’s behavior can be concerning, and it’s important that you know the signs to look out for if something serious is going on.
75% of reported cases of child sexual abuse are committed by family members or other individuals who are considered part of the victim’s “circle of trust”.
One of the biggest misconceptions about childhood sexual abuse is that your children are in the most danger from strangers. We all grew up hearing about stranger danger, but in reality, RAINN found that in 93% of childhood sexual abuse cases the child knows the perpetrator.
Research shows that it is very rare for children to lie about sexual abuse and even more common for them to retract statements after pressure from adults. Kids just want the world to go back to normal, it's up to you as the adult to advocate for the child.
The most important thing you can do for your children is to listen and maintain open communication. They must know if anyone touches them inappropriately or asks them to keep a secret, they can come to you immediately. It is your job to believe them, report it to the authorities, support your child, and get them the help to heal.
